Components:

• Grill Rack: The cooking surface where food is placed.

• Drip Tray: An aluminum tray positioned below the heating element to collect grease and requires water for smoke reduction.
• Main Unit Body: Houses the electrical components and supports the grill rack and drip tray.
• Power Cord: For connecting the grill to an electrical outlet.

4. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and ensure all components are present and undamaged.
2. Placement: Place the grill on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
3. Prepare Drip Tray: Slide the aluminum drip tray into its designated slot beneath the heating element. Fill the drip tray with water up to the indicated maximum level. This helps to reduce smoke and makes cleaning easier by preventing grease from burning onto the tray.

4. Assemble Grill Rack: Place the grill rack securely over the heating element.
5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet matches the voltage requirements of the grill (120V).

5. Operating Instructions

1. Preheat: Once plugged in, the grill will begin to heat up. Allow 5-10 minutes for the grill to reach its optimal cooking temperature. There is no specific temperature control knob; the grill operates at a fixed high temperature.
2. Place Food: Carefully place food items directly onto the hot grill rack. Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure even cooking.
3. Grilling: Cook food according to desired doneness, turning as necessary. The non-stick surface helps prevent food from sticking.
4. Monitor Water Level: During extended cooking, check the water level in the drip tray and refill if necessary. Always unplug the grill before adding water.
5. Finish Cooking: Once cooking is complete, unplug the grill from the power outlet.

3. Clean Grill Rack: Wash the grill rack with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, soak the rack before cleaning. The non-stick surface should be handled gently.
4. Clean Drip Tray: Empty any remaining water and grease from the drip tray. Wash it with warm, soapy water.
5. Clean Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit or power cord in water or any other liquid.
